About Me

I am a wife and mother. I possess a Nutrition degree.
Sometimes when you read my posts, this will surprise you. I'm like a doctor who smokes....do as I say, not as I do. I have a full blown food addiction which has expanded into a product obsession. If it's new, I'm probably gonna try it. And if I like it, I'm definitely gonna tell you all about it. =).

Thanksgiving is getting so close, I can taste the cranberry sauce. And I just started to think about everything I do have to be thankful for. Sometimes I admit that I get caught up wanting more, wanting something else, and even envy other peoples STUFF. It's just material STUFF and it is NOT what matters the most. I am so thankful for God's blessings and I forget to count those sometimes and give God the glory for his everyday works in my life.As our world changes, as our human leadership changes, as times get tougher, I am trying to SLOW DOWN and listen to God. And right now, I think he is telling me to be silent, be still, and appreciate what he has given me and entrusted to me.I am so thankful for my two beautiful little girls that God has given to me to take care of.I am so thankful for my husband who is my ROCK, my best friend, and my sounding board....God really knew what he was doing when he put Chad in my path.I am so thankful for my family. My parents are so helpful and such a constant in my life. My little sister always has my back...even if we pick each other to death, we still love each other like crazy.I am so thankful for a comfortable home, a church that feels like home, friends who surpass all expectations every single time.I am so thankful for the little things....my daughter's laughing together, the gifts of vision and hearing to take in this great, big world God has given to us, health, hilarity to get through the tough times, God's promise of eternity for those who believe. What an amazing promise......now that's something to be thankful for.I encourage everyone to take a moment and look around you....you'll notice blessings piled up everywhere!God Bless all of ya'll. I love you all!

My Underworld Family

My cute little ladybug. I'm sure one day, just like Taylor, she will want to dress up as a scary, spooky monster too. So, I am relishing this sweet angel faced baby in her adorable, sweet costume and will remember in about 7 years how cute she was "way back then".

My beautiful Taylor all scary as Spiderella.

Courtlyn and Tim. She had the best seat in the house.

Taylor, Me, and Allie posing pretty!

Pa Beck's ANNUAL HALLOWEEN FALL BASH PARTY :

Courtlyn and her Papa Bear warming thier hands by the fire.

Chad and Dad hangin' out.

Courtlyn loved loved loved to hang out by the fire. And the deal was sweetened with this little temporary puppy pal she shared her seat with. Mean old Daddy wouldn't let her take it home. Shame on Daddy.

Hanging out : Carly, Kerrigan, puppy breath, and Me

( with Allie jumping in from behind to bunny ear us! )

Can ANYONE believe my little Taylor is almost as tall as me and can wear my shoes!

And I know I'm her mom but she has turned out quite beautiful...hmmmmm......must be those good genes she's got =) JUST KIDDING!
